Star Wars Philippines, the premiere Star Wars fan organization in the country, brings to you a one-of-a kind rogues' party never before seen in the local bar scene. The event, dubbed MOS EISLEY NIGHT, is a celebration of the greatest sci-fi movie franchise of all time, and what better way to do it than to pay homage to the aliens' cantina featured in the first installment of the original trilogy?

Activities for MOS EISLEY NIGHT will include film showings of fan-made Star Wars movies; art exhibits; cosplays; games; and performances from the most exciting young bands today--members of which happen to be avid Star Wars fans also.

Star Wars merchandise will also be raffled off during the event. Mos Eisley Night will be held on August 31, 5PM at Millennia Cafe (located along Kamuning Road, QC). Performers include Itchyworms, Narda, The Purplechickens, The Late Isabel, Death Star Cookies, Fish Trio, Do'Ahou and the most titillating Stormtroopers to hit the convention circuit, the STORMBALLS.

Entrance fee is P100. 20% discount will be given to those who come in costume. Kindly leave your droids at the door.

Star Wars Philippines is a member of the New Worlds alliance (http://www.newworlds.tk), consisting of Via Astris (Star Trek), The Philippine Tolkien Society, Pinoy Harry Potter, Pinoy X-Philes, A.E.G.I.S., and the Pinoy Slayers.

Guys, thanks for making the first MOS EISLEY NIGHT a success. On behalf of the Jedi Council, we'd like to thank the original and instant volunteers who helped us out during set-up (Rej, Emil, Ricky, Krys, Chris--hehe, Gary). The SWP peeps who came (Hec, Ian, et al) Without you guys, the night would have been one hell of a mess.

Many thanks to the artists-exhibitors who graced us during the night (Ariel Atienza, and Lyndon "the father of SWP" Gregorio). At last, a comic strip na bagay kay Slave Meann. hehe.

Oh, I heard a high-ranking Starfleet officer is about to be expelled soon. heh heh.

MANY MANY thanks to the New Worlds people who came: Paolo (Via Astris), Tania (VA, Slayers, Smallville), Luna, Joon et al (X-
Files); Argee of WeAreAnime.com; and the cosplayers!!! Asteeeg. Matrix Babe Gabe, and the j-rock goth girls. You guys brought out the essence of the Mos Eisley Cantina last night.

What was weird (in a good way) was that after matapos ang Mos Eisley Night, wala pa agad umalis, so we had to play more fan films. Ang saya-saya!

Expect the next Mos Eisley Night to be better this November. We'll show TESB, AND it's a pre-Christmas celebration. Let it snow! Let it snow!!!
